Valuation (SAP Library - Batch Management (LO-BM))

Valuation

Use

You can valuate a batch on the basis of batch-specific units of measure, for example, using a particular active ingredient proportion.

Prerequisites

You must use Valuation for a Single Batch.

Note

If you want to valuate the batch with the standard price of the batch-specific quantity, you must note the following:

In Customizing for Controlling, choose Product Cost Controlling ® Product Cost Planning ® Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure ® Settings for Quantity Structure Control ® Material Data ® Check Attributes of Material Types. Choose the standard price in the group Price control.
In the Accounting view of the material master record you have to choose:

Valuation category X (Autom (batch))

Under Valuation category X in the standard system, the valuation type is automatically set for postings of goods receipts. This characteristic has to be set for this valuation category in Customizing.

Price control V (Moving average price)

Features

If a characteristic of a batch-specific unit of measure is flagged as relevant for characteristic values, the system calculates the value using the quantity and price. This value divided by the physical quantity of the batch gives you the batch price. If several characteristics with proportion units are flagged, the system cumulates the values.

Example

Batch C0001

Physical quantity: 100 kg

Actual conversion factor: 80%

Proportion price: $10/kai (kai = proportion unit kg of active ingredient)

These are used to calculate:

Proportion quantity: 80 kai

Proportion value: $800 (80 kgai x $10/kgai)

Value of batch: $800 (proportion value)

Price of batch: $8/kg physical quantity ($800/100kg)

Activities

In the material master record, set the indicator VUn (valuation based on batch-specific quantity) for the characteristics relevant for characteristic value assignment: Additional data, Proportion/prod. Un view.

You enter a standard price for the batch-specific quantity: Logistics ® Central Functions ® Batch Management ® Batch-specific Units of Measure ® Standard Price ® Create.

If you have maintained a price for a valuation-relevant characteristic in the respective plant, the system sets the Valuated UoM indicator in the Accounting 1 view of the material master record.
